Hey James :)
Welcome to steemit, I am sure you will love the #fiction and #writing area. And if you write nice stuff, those communities will love you as well!
preparing to take the final step to completing a master's degree in Chaplaincy.
Does this mean you are gonna become a pastor or am I stuck with my English here?
so I suppose you can say that I've put down a lot of money just so I can sound holier than thou.
Like that sarcasm dude ;)
Btw., I resteemed you via @welcoming, a page where I share promising newbies like you. Check out who else got featured there!

Thank you for the welcome. I'm indeed very much interested in both those areas. I'm impressed by how steemit might work as a content creation platform and the use of theoretical 'worth' that is decided on by a digital community of content.
A chaplain is very much like a pastor! The primary difference is that while a pastor leads a church congregation and evangelizes, a chaplain goes out into places like jails, medical centers, and businesses to act as a spiritual counselor and guide to those who work there. It's not so much an evangelical position - attempting to convert in your position is heavily frowned upon for a chaplain and concerned unethical - as it is a position that reminds people of the presence of God wherever they are, and gives them a chance to seek solace in faith that might otherwise be denied them. That's a vast simplification, but it's one of the quickest explanations I can give.
Thank you for the resteem! It's greatly appreciated.
